Quotes:

[to a child he robbed]::Milo Peck: Hey, life's tough. Sometimes you don't get what you want. Mostly you don't get what you want.

Milo Peck: [to the person that caused his death] I can't get a decent meal, I can't get a smoke, and mostly, I can't get laid. You turned me into a *goddamn* monk!

Hal the Bus Driver: I like that, it adds unity.

Hal the Bus Driver: It is time, ooooh!::Milo Peck: It is time? Ooooh?

Harrison Winslow: Who came up with this ridiculous concept anyway? Resolve your entire life in one bold stroke? What if I fail? And I will. I'll fail. I'm telling you. I always fail. Then my whole life will be a complete failure.::Thomas Reilly: No offense, Harrison. But you died a failure because you never tried.
